In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated(). To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it. After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows: Running time on unfixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m2.051s user 0m0.008s sys 0m2.026s Running time on fixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m0.471s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.395s Signed-off-by: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@tencent.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d7a98178-056b-6db5-6bce-4ead23f4a257@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Currently, system zones just track ranges of block, that are "important"
fs metadata (bitmaps, group descriptors, journal blocks, etc.). This
however complicates how extent tree (or indirect blocks) can be checked
for inodes that actually track such metadata - currently the journal
inode but arguably we should be treating quota files or resize inode
similarly. We cannot run __ext4_ext_check() on such metadata inodes when
loading their extents as that would immediately trigger the validity
checks and so we just hack around that and special-case the journal
inode. This however leads to a situation that a journal inode which has
extent tree of depth at least one can have invalid extent tree that gets
unnoticed until ext4_cache_extents() crashes.
To overcome this limitation, track inode number each system zone belongs
to (0 is used for zones not belonging to any inode). We can then verify
inode number matches the expected one when verifying extent tree and
thus avoid the false errors. With this there's no need to to
special-case journal inode during extent tree checking anymore so remove
it.

Wire up ext4 to support inline encryption via the helper functions which fs/crypto/ now provides. This includes: - Adding a mount option 'inlinecrypt' which enables inline encryption on encrypted files where it can be used. - Setting the bio_crypt_ctx on bios that will be submitted to an inline-encrypted file. Note: submit_bh_wbc() in fs/buffer.c also needed to be patched for this part, since ext4 sometimes uses ll_rw_block() on file data. - Not adding logically discontiguous data to bios that will be submitted to an inline-encrypted file. - Not doing filesystem-layer crypto on inline-encrypted files.

"This is the second round of ext4 commits for 5.8 merge window [1].
It includes the per-inode DAX support, which was dependant on the DAX
infrastructure which came in via the XFS tree, and a number of
regression and bug fixes; most notably the "BUG: using
smp_processor_id() in preemptible code in ext4_mb_new_blocks" reported
by syzkaller"

The only use of I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE is to detect in __writeback_single_inode() that inode got there because flush worker decided it's time to writeback the dirty inode time stamps (either because we are syncing or because of age). However we can detect this directly in __writeback_single_inode() and there's no need for the strange propagation with I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE flag.

This adds the same per-file/per-directory DAX support for ext4 as was done for xfs, now that we finally have consensus over what the interface should be.
